Re: convert LPM to cubic feet per minute

or better yet do everything in liters, liters per minute, bar, and meters and live a happy life.

I took a trimix course last weekend and my instructor was figuring his preasure needed in his al 80s without bothering to use the water capacity and using 80 cu ft even after I mentioned that they are really 77 cu ft tanks. His answer? "I figured my RMV using 80 cu ft as the tank volume so now I use it to calculate the psi needed for the dive." Maddness.
